Psalms 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. 6 Thou made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.
Those declarations are true as it pertains to man, to whom God gave the dominion, and Genesis chapter one no doubt confirms this sacred truth. However, if Jesus is not our focal point as we study, we will absolutely miss the point, because the Bible was not written by Moses and the other prophets to merely highlight what Adam and Eve did or didn’t do.
The scripture is a revelation of Jesus, and thus, He must be sought for as gold, in all of the sacred writings, for they ultimately point to Him. Again, the law of redemption written by Moses in Leviticus, stipulates who is authorized to make the redemption. It has to be one of the person’s family and it should be a male.
That’s the reason why Christ became one of us, so as to fulfill the requirement of the Levitical law in order to save us. If one surface reads the Bible in a manner that is not Christ-centered, essential truths would be hidden from view, and the law in Leviticus may then seem to have no relevance for us today.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
